	In 2012, [[Abstergo Industries]] used Forlì as a simulated training location during the [[Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood\|first]] stage of their [[Animi Training Program]]. The simulation depicted the Abbazia di San Mercuriale and the surrounding area, which contained mostly housing, some of it in poor state, as well as plenty of market stalls. Forlì's streets were mostly spacious and long, with little alleyways connecting the more open areas, of which one was dedicated to the keeping of [[horse]]s, with several [[stable]]s present, as well as [[Hiding spots\|haystacks]] and watering troughs. Due to the low tide, the city drains were empty of water, turning one of the city's wells into a possible escape route. Forlì was not programmed to have aesthetic variations.
